A few days and a bit of progress! With colour coats complete, on a whim I decided on a different approach. First a did a couple of light layers of clear, then did the pinstriping with automotive tape (after a long discussion with the bloke in the shop who assured me he'd applied acrylic over the tape and it had worked fine!). It was very easy to do I have to say. I then did another clear. At this point the tape decided to lift a little and I thought I was screwed, but I've managed to keep it in place and do a couple more coats. I think I've got it firmly fixed now. I'm happy with the pickguard and front, the back isn't quite as tight but close enough! I'm going to do a heap of clears to get try and get a glassed look so I'll have to be patient!!
